MAINE DISPATCHES.
GOOD DETECTIVE WORK.
Three Thieves Are Finally Taken Into
Custody.

PoRTLASD, Dec. 2.
About year ago Jacob Shattuck leased
his farm at East Deering to Joshua L. Taylor
who formerly had the contract for removing
the city offai, and who employs a large num-
Der OF men. Last spring Mr.. Shatnck com
menced to miss various articles of his prop
erty from the farm, and these petty thefts
kept up during the spring and summer, till he
was Obliged short time ago to place the
matter in the hands of Detective Thomas A.
Simpson of this city. Mr. Simpson went to
work on the case and with sufficient success
to warrant the arrest of three of Taylor's
men last night, when John Gillen, Hugh
Gillen and VIM. Dumphy were taken into
custody by Detective Simpson and Officer
Norton The men would not say much about
the matter to-day but the prosecution feels
confident of conyicting them. These men
are drivers of night carts and it is more than
likely that they are connected with some of
the numerous burglaries here lately, as they
have an excellent chance for such work
The case will come up in the municipal
court tomorrow morning. George II. Towns
bend has been retained by Mr.. Shattuck to
prosecute

GRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.
CONDEMNED MURDERERS
Make a Desperate Attempt to Escape
How They Make Their Freedom Al
most Certain and How They Were
Detected.
NEW YoRK. Dec. ..

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.
Warden Walsh of the Tombs, discovered
today that Dan'l Driscoll and Dan1 Lyon,
condemned murderers, whose cells adjoin
made desperate attempts TO escape. He
entered Driscoll's cell while the latter was in
court receiving the sentence of death and
found the iron plate to the cell window in
which the bars were set. removed and a
piece of white muslin cemented TO the
whitewashed wall by bits of soap hid the
vacancy. At first sight the white surface
wall looked unbroken. Pieces of the ab-
stracted plate were discovered hidden in the
bed also an iron bar cut from the bed stead
with fine tooth saw.
Lyons cell was promptly examined and a
similar state of affairs were found. The
window plate was removed, but no attempt
at concealment was made. A single massive
iron bar in the window, cut through SO that
a blow knocked it out and scattered about
the cell fragments of iron plate and mur-
hook and saw were introduced into the cells
is mystery, as all visitors have been kept
under close surveillance.
Adolph Reich, condemned Jewish wife
murderer who occupies a cell near by is sus-
pected of being in the plot. For the past
three days the trio have refused to accept of
the prison food, claiming it not fit for rats.
This is thought to have been a blind TO dis
tract attention from their plot.
The warden believes that the attempt at
delivery was to have been made tonight.
Lyons and Driscoll were removed TO other
cells although force had to be used with
Driscoll in making the change.

Ye Olden Time.

Give something | want to show You" said
Water street music dealer to the Journal
man as he dropped in to warm up beside the
huge stove in the office "A real relic of
the olden time that you will be interested in. !"
The dealer passed across the counter an ancient
covers papered with green outer coverings.
That" he continued, sis one Of the oldest
music books that I've ever seen, and think
the Oldest anywhere around here. The scribe
picked the book up and opened its covers. The
revelation was complete surprise. Over
looking the evidences of age in the discolored,
rough, brittle paper, there was that about the
printing of the music which made it most
remarkable looking music sheet, so different
in print from modern sheets that player
would be somewhat puzzled in reading it at
sight. 1t was evidently an old book, but not
until its title page was examined was there
a complete recognition of its longevity. This
was the title: "rhe Psalmist's Best Com
panion, Being an Extract of many approved
Authors. Containing Brief Introduction to
the Grounds of Music with a Collection of
Psalm Tunes" The book was compiled, by
David Merrill, Philo Musica, and was pub
lished at Exeter n. H., 1893. The author in
his method of instruction used only four
syllables "me, ia, sol, Ia the do, ra, ST."
of modern notation being omitted. 1t con
tains a table of the positions, of 'me" in the
different Keys for instance it says when
b is fatted me" is on E. This is rather
puzzle to those accustomed to reading music,
and was a most unsatisfactory arrangement to
those looking at the method The cover Of
the book bore the signature, Maria Con
nngham, North Newcastle Maine, well"
said the scribe after looking the book over,
''this is book number one in this line and there
is no doubt that there are others more an
cient about the country than would be more
like conundrums than this" Yes" assented
the music man, "there may be but it's good
thing that they are scarce, A pupil taught
bv that method would never learn

EXPLODED.
The Yassalboro lncendiary's Implication
ola Principal Proven False by
Defective True.
The Oak Grove People are Sure That
the Incendiaries Have Been
Ferreted Out


NAssALBoRo, Dec. 2.
Ever since the arrest of the young ineen-
diary who confessed TO setting the academy
buildings at this place on fire and his impli-
cation of another party unwarned by him the
citizens have been very averse to the rebuild
ing the academy for fear that the resident
party to the former confiagration would
again reduce the structure to ashes. Con-
sequently the citizens acting with the school
authorities procured the services of Detective
ira Trnc for the purpose of ferreting out the
man who hired the boy to burn the buildings
Detective True visited the boy frequently in
Jail and finally obtained his consent to iden-
tify the man. The boy said that he was paid
by this man for firing the buildings and that
if the officer would arrange fifteen or more
suspected men in a room he would point the
man out if among them. Hoping that the
strongly suspected by the authorities, Detec-
tive True with City Marshal Norton of Gar
diner, in charge of the boy, went to the
Augusta station to come to Vassalboro this
afternoon. But when the boy got there he re-
fused to go any further and declared
he would not indentify the man if he
carried to Vassalboro. Detective True and
Marshal Norton leaving the boy behind came
here and interviewed the man suspected.
As a result the detective announces it his
idea that the man is innocent. He says the
man declared that he was willing to face the
boy, and that he was too poor to pay for
such jobs if he wanted to. The detective
has undoubtedly explored story that the
boy concoted to save himself and his work
mates. Detective True has given great salts
action and the people of Vassalboro feel sure
that he has ferretted out the incendairies.

THE NEW RESERVOIR.
What Engineer shodd Says OF it

Mr.. J. Herbert Shedi the engineer, who
has had general supervision over the compile
ton of the new reservoir was in the city
yesterday forenoon. In reply to the ques-
tions of the Journal reporter, he said. Il
have made personal examination of the
reservoir this morning and feel perfectly
satisfied with the result. 1t was rather bad
bottom on which TO construct u reservoir but
the results of the examination were all right"
Was this the final examination"
1T was. The results of the measurements
your paper mentioned the other morning
were preparatory to the final examination"
Has the absorption of the walls eeased?"
There is now no apprecable absorption SO
that only the shrinkage due TO evaporation
had to be taken into account to-day
''Do you calculate so closely as to take
notice of the temperature in reckoning on
evaporation?'
Most certainly. A dry air even in winter
absorbs very much more than damp at
mosphere. In II certain sense" added Mr..
Shedd, Il feel personally responsible and
leave feeling that everything is complete,
